Fast Vacation

If you are every in East Texas, go take a visit to Canton, Texas. It's acres and acres and miles and miles of STUFF! It had been 20 years since we'd been there and there's no way to even describe how much bigger it has gotten.

Here's a few of my treasures :

I should've opened this one up to take a picture, but it's the prettiest blue and the oddest gold combination. Hate to admit it, but I paid $12 for this quilt.
How many Sunbonnet Sue's can a person collect? This is just my second one--first one is purple. The girls are a different pattern than the other one too. Oh, both quilts are hand quilted and this one is hand pieced. It's twin sized, and yes I paid a little more for this one.

These two girls just spoke to me. I'm having TWO granddaughters and these two will be wonderful companions for them. Raggy needs an apron, but that surely won't be hard to make. Holly Hobby....would love to know how old she is and she's spotless, well, they both are.

I also bought two crochted items. one is a tablecloth and the other is a twin-sized bedspread. --both were $10 each. Okay...I've crocheted a lot of things in my lifetime, but to make that big of something for $10?..nope.

I also bought two antique rolling pins and several (many, many, many) other things.

Troy skipped school to go with us...drove us down there (4 hrs) and back. It was a good experience for him, but he said he wasn't ready to go back. It's 12 miles of trails if you go thru it all....and we did it in two days. He got a new pair of boots and jacket(at the western wear outlet), so he was happy. He's also a good carry-person. When you park at Canton, it's at least a mile to go back to the car and Troy gladly carried stuff for me....better than his Dad!
